Nutcracker

DECEMBER 16-DECEMBER 31, 2015

On Christmas Eve, 1944, the audience at San Francisco’s War Memorial Opera
House experienced the American premiere of Nutcracker. An instant sensation,
the ballet launched a national holiday tradition.

San Francisco Ballet’s sparkling production of Nutcracker, set here
in our own “City by the Bay,” has introduced audiences of all ages
to the magnificent world of ballet. This holiday season, experience the beauty and
athleticism of SF Ballet’s international cast of world-class dancers in Nutcracker,
a San Francisco tradition since 1944.

Age Recommendation

Nutcracker is best enjoyed by children ages 5 and older. Out of courtesy
to your fellow audience members, SF Ballet requests no infants or toddlers, please.
All persons, regardless of age, must have a ticket to enter.
